Heading out in the morning saw us passing the same group of
brits who had hired bikes to see the Island,
it became a game of leap frog for awhile. first real good bit of dirt track
work over a big mountain range, it finally got cold enough for me to plug my
heated vest in, Inspector Gadget (martin) was so jealous, the day went on too
long but we did reach the most Northern point of Iceland and (the farthest
North I had ever reached) Martin carried on to his hotel and we had a truly
shit wet camp,

We had arranged to meet at the Dead fox water fall, think
it’s really called Dettifoss or something, the big waterfall at the beginning
of the Prometheus film (Alien)

Martin text H to warn him the track was Bad, But to us this
is what the XT600 were build for I HAD A
GREAT RIDE Hammered it up the track, bike handled great even though it was
fully loaded, my off road riding has improved no end since Tajikistan and all
the handling problems sorted out, (no of those buttock clenching moments were
you needed to change your pants afterwords)

DETTIFOSS

Wow

The power of nature in a very raw way , TO GIVE YOU AN IDEA OF SCALE THAT LITTLE WHITE DOT ON THE FIRST PIC ON THE OTHER SIDE ,,IS A WOMAN

After the water fall off to a very smelly place to watch
gizers doing there thing and to also watch H getting covered in petrol fixing a
leak,

On to Akuryri were we elected to get rooms in the same hotel
as martin as we would be under canvas for 3 days at the Landsmo`t rally.

Yet again martin treated us to a meal, yet again he told me
to” Fuck off with my boil inthe bag meal” (strange man) ACTUALLY HE
IS A GREAT GUY and I will be sorry to see him leave tomorrow.
